What a long strange trips its been. I had an insurance agency in Redondo Beach for twenty years. I got togehter a 20 year old Riviera Elementary school reunion together back in 1984. I still keep in touch with some of you, mostly females. The 70's was filled with Backgammon, the 80's with poker, and always the horse races. I used to own and race horses, but now just gamble on them. My motto has always been wine, women and song. Oh yes, and gambling. Now I'm just hoping to stay retired. My e-mail address is lladams@cox.net. Good luck, fellow Spartans.

Hello from Tucson. Lived here since '79. I still visit the
Torrance/Redondo area frequently and love riding along the
bike path or grabbing a coffee and pastry in the Village and
going out to TB or the Cove to watch the surf. I own a small
design/cabinet/furniture biz. Tucson is a nice place to live...
Socal is a great place to visit.

John Helliwell
From John Helliwell e-mail
HelliwellJ@aol.com. Only 10 more years until our
50th reunion. I hope someone takes hold of the
reins on this and gets it organized. Love to see
everyone again.
A quick overview of my life. Was wild in high
school. Didn’t settle down until later. I don’t
preach but Jesus is in control. Married at 21,
had 3 children, Ron 36, Kriscinda 35, and John
31. They all live in Alaska. They won’t leave.
They love it there. I went to Hawaii with my job
but my wife wouldn’t come. Only saw her on
vacations. After 4 years I couldn’t do that
anymore and we ended in divorce after 27 years.
That is something in life I didn’t think I would
ever do. I made the commitment and I was going
to stick with it. Anyway, everything is done for
the best and now I am happy. Found me a Hawaiian
girl. We are best friends and have a bitchin
time together. Took her off the island and now
we have been married for 10 years. Her 3
children live in Hawaii.
We both took up golf and love it. Go whenever
we have a chance and always on the weekends
(together of course). This month hit my longest
drive, 329 yards. It just happened to be in a
tournament and on the hole for the longest drive.
That’s kind of how my life has gone, from good to
better. In perfect condition mentally and
physically except this big stomach that sticks
out.
Hope this finds you all in good health. Feel
free to e-mail me. I am also on facebook as John
Helliwell. The picture is of me on my blue Big
Dog Motorcycle. Take care and God Bless

HI. I'VE BEEN LIVING IN ISRAEL FOR 22 YEARS, MARRIED WITH FOUR CHILDREN, (TWO BOYS AND TWO GIRLS). I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED AS A PARAMEDIC HERE

AT THE TIME, I THOUGHT MY FOUR YEARS AT SOUTH

I COULD AFFORD TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE.

Barbara "Boni" (Sanok) Eernisse
Over the last 40 years, I have lived in Seal
Beach, Bellflower, Bullhead City, San Gabriel
Mountains and now Montana. I married Gary in
1970, had our son in 1973 and stayed at home
until our son was 11. I did some craft shows
while our son was still little and then worked as
a secretary for 13 years until downsizing in 1995
and I was layed off. I started a custom
embroidery business and had that for 8 years and
retired from that 6 years ago. I still do an
annual job for a golf tournament, but now I spend
most of my time at the gym trying to stay ahead
of the middle age bulge and I knit for charity (
I knit burial clothing for preemie babies that
don't make it as well hats and booties for those
who do). Gary will retire in two years, but we
have made travel a part of our lives while we are
healthy and able. We have seen places that I
never thought I would in my lifetime. I am very
grateful!! I hope to hear from you soon. Boni

Hello all Trojans from 1969. I am glad to have found some of you in this site. Incredible to be able to communicate like this 40 years later from the time we lauched off from South High. We fall in line with the landing on the moon 40 years ago too.
I live in Tustin, CA, working in the architectural and construction management field; things I was interested in somehow from the time I took drafting classes at South High. I hope to make it to the 40th anniversary reunion and see many of you.

Just retired (YIKES! i am old) from Cal Poly Pomona. Feel free to email me. I missed the last reunion (2006). Lost some people when i left work and they were on my computer there. So if you haven't heard back from me in awhile, write me at home. Still talk with Kathy Thomas/Penny and Ann Kingston and,of course, my brothers Terry, Tracy and Cary Westcott. While working at Torrance Library, I saw a lot of people from SHS, but lately??? I have 3 kids (who aren't kids anymore) and now that I am not commuting 3 hours a day, I have time for fun! Looking forward to hearing from the Class of '69.
